Duplicating an item.

It used to be that when I made a duplicate of an item that I have for sale, the copied item immediately popped up, ready to be detailed and listed. Now it seems that you have to copy the item, then update your store, then go back to the listings page because it sends you to your actual store, and then sit around and hit refresh until the copied item shows up. Also, your main body text does not copy over to the new item. Is this a glitch? If not I’m outta here.

Use the Batch Edit Items function to select item(s) and then click on the “Duplicate item(s)” radio button, then “Apply changes”. This will make an EXACT duplicate of the item(s) and place them into the “Ready for Sale” state.

When on the add edit page…Sort the items by newest when working..to find the freshly created new items

I list items daily and tend to duplicate quite a bit, after you hit duplicate click on the “Items Ready To Post” button on the left hand side under the Add/Edit section. Brings it right up. Pretty easy actually.

I’ve just checked it and it worked properly on my end (I’ve tested it in 2 [URL removed] on 1 item “on sale” and 1 “reserved”).

So, try it again, if the problem persists, address it to B. support.

I find that when I duplicate an item, the new item turns up on the last page, not the page of the original item. I find this frustrating. It used to show right next to the original item. Now you have to hunt for it.

I agree that is frustrating to have to hunt for it.
